What Color Should I Go With?

[brother_david]

Im thinking of going for a 400R-bodykit (and hood) for my ECR33. Now im a bit split on what color to choose, either i go with the lightsilver-paint i have now, and put some nice(and big) red or blue decals on it. This would save me alot of money.

Im also thinking of painting it red, sorta Ferrari-red, would look nice with some black or white rims.

Earlier i was also thinking that JUN-yellow is a very nice color, could be really nice, or the very opposite.

So what do you think?

Cheers

There's a pic in the SAU gallery of a yellow r33 with the 400 kit, and it looks so sexy. Go with that, save up and get some nice black wheels with a polished lip... That will look awesome and very unique

nah dont do red.. wont suit the car at all no matter what rims.. just what i think..

i would go with purple maybe??

or yea silver like my car(avator pic)

but as the guy abiove said, check out the yellow!!

even maybe blue?? bayside blue or a bit darker??

[Spook's_Skyline]

perhaps a nice blue with sparkles?

midnight purple s3 gtr colour for the win

[smurf80]

I agree nothing looks better than midnight purple on a R33...

Post up a pic of your car or one similar with the body kit etc, I can do a couple of photoshops if you like. Just give me a pic and some idea of the colours you are choosing between. I can change rims too, so if you put up a pic of the rims you want, I can add them to the pic.

nothing wrong with red 33s!

[JUNR34]

I say go paint it yellow or r34 bayside blue, dont think Ive seen much r33 with that colour.

candy apple red?

[Bluprint]

If you're going with a (full?) 400R bodykit, why not make it looks like a real 400R?

Do it in Nismo silver with the side decals and if you're game, bulging GT-R rear guards

Hey! Thanks for your comments! Still havent made up my mind, but for rims, im going for either black 8-spoke 18-inch (they have a nice red line on the following the edge of the rim which would go perfectly along with the red color) OR i'll go with something like this:

Anyways, here are some links to real 400R's with some different colors:

http://www.jbskyline.net/Nismo400R/Showroom/Bilder/Bild8.php - Yellow, the yellow one i have in mind, a bit brighter wouldnt hurt though

http://www.jbskyline.net/Nismo400R/Showroo...lder/Bild15.php - A white one, always nice, but not that intresting, and also, a friend of mine has a white R33, dont wanna compete with him

http://www.jbskyline.net/Nismo400R/Showroo...lder/Bild16.php - A somewhat dull blue color

http://www.jbskyline.net/Nismo400R/Showroom/Bilder/Bild1.php - And ofcourse the red one, not exactly the 'ferrari-red' i was thinking of

I dont have any pics of a silver one, although i think i know that the 400R came with the KR4-Silver, a bit darker then mine.

Candy apple red would be so nice, but the cost is a tad to high for me

Quinny, would be great if you could do some photoshopping, ill try to find a good pic of one with the kit on!

EDIT: found a guy who ones a JUN-Yellow one, with atleast a 400R-front:

Nothing wrong with red, especially if it has a bright red pearl

I've had nothing but great comments about my car, after i resprayed it and powder coated the rims a metallic charcol

Here are some more pics from the 2006 GP AutoSalon, Mavric's yellow bannana also looks great

Thats a very nice red, not like that marone colour.

Thanks

Very different to the std burgundy, have absolutely no regretes..

Colour is actually a factory Ford US paint: 1998 Ford Mustang, Laser Red (3-layer Perl)

Mine is Yellow with a 400R Kit....

Here is a pic....(on a cruise with a few of the guys from here)

[brother_david]

Really nice Stel! I love the color!

I am thinking of going with these rims:

Only bad thing is that they dont arrive until 6-8 weeks to the distr.

[brother_david]

I've made a testpic to get an idea of how the rims work with the stock KL0-color of my car, and with decals, the car has actually got darkgrey lower parts of bumpers and sideskirts, modded that in the pic, aswell as removed the GT-Wing i have (dont like it although would maybe be nice to paint it in the same color as the decals...).
